Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[HaMoTZeMaS]

from yesterday i have been feeling a missing link between people and armed forces of Ukraine

> insignificant level of moral among people to fight against oppressor..

Russian calculated this very well

 

[Meengla]

1. This is today, here and now, naked aggression.
2. It is also the Russian reaction to continued and sustained NATO pressure on Russia, by extending NATO boundaries eastward directly threatening Russia.
3. Russia will seemingly create a buffer zone to the east, consisting of its Russian-language majority in the Donbas region, and additional strips of land to the west of this zone, to create a buffer to the west against land attack.
4. Ukraine will be kept demilitarised by force, under threat of renewed attack.

1. Putin has made it clear that he will react to these pressures violently.
2. He has not made it clear how he hopes to keep Russia in working order under the massive weight of sanctions imminent.
3. China may or may not provide the economic counter-balance against sanctions.
4. It is possible that this presages the final downfall of the Soviet Union, as its most important successor component, Russia, heads for decline. Perhaps sharp decline.

1. India is very awkwardly placed.
2. Supporting Russia sets her against her supposed new allies of the west.
3. Breaking ties with Russia
   1. guarantees vast streams of surplus arms and ammunition into Pakistan, and
   2. the abrupt end to supplies of spares for the enormous Indian inventory of Russian weapons.
4. She will also be left friendless against China.

1. We are likely to see/hear/read verbiage in plenty, basically trying to say nothing against Russia and yet not annoying the USA.
2. We are likely to see this response angering the US and Europe.
3. This is also likely to chill relations with Korea and Japan.
4. China and Pakistan are likely to look on with cynical amusement, as the Sanghis take India down with them.

And posts like these is why PDF is far better than those armchair generals sitting in Washington and London. To them, because they are largely immune from the fall out of distant wars, it is a passing interest if they are not in the planning/military; even those in the military know that at worst they'd get a slap on the wrist for failed policies and lost wars. But to the people of the Eurasian continent--and yes, Europe is inseparable from from Asia--conflicts have often immediate consequences and thus people in the region, including on PDF are better informed.

Current dispositions and overview of forces. Today was relatively bloodier with multiple Russian attacks repulsed in some areas from staunch Ukrainian defenses. However gains were still made in other areas.

Historically, the Dnieper River was the scene of ethnic and commercial conflicts led by the dream of controlling the only outlet for these peoples to the world (the Black Sea)..

It was represented in the struggle of the Slavs (Russia) against the Russian Scandinavian Kievan's Rus (the Scandinavian peoples that dwelt east of the Dnieper River).. And whoever controls the Dnieper controls trade.

Today's Ukraine is a mixed ethnic group of conflicting interests. Where it represents the historical ethnic conflict with its vivid face with intellectual ideological and surviving socialist influence..

Will the map of Ukraine be divided in half as the Dnieper River divided it into half Slavic and half Scandinavian to the west?

The war will be over by tomorrow. Thanks to NATO ( No Action Talk Only )

The way NATO reacted to this war shows that these top countries are only good to fight the weakest countries like iraq, Afghanistan etc

Put up a strong one and they only go back to sanctions

Now as it’s clear to Ukrainians that no help is coming from outside they should join Russia fully

Why to stand and get a lot of people being getting killed?

All bluffs are out on no one’s coming

I don’t know how much it’s damaging to NATO
Best time when they are any country that we will protect you if you give up XYZ , no one is going to believe them

Interesting times ahead

This is fake.

The statement from NATO was not even worth switching from one tab to another.
